Choice A is incorrect, as although rainfall is a part of the water cycle and is responsible for distributing water, it does not directly contribute to the retention of water on Earth.
Choice B is incorrect, as the moon's gravitational force regulates the tides of large bodies of water but does not directly contribute to water retention on Earth. Choice C is incorrect as water is lost from bodies of water on the surface of the Earth and evaporates into the atmosphere, which doesn't directly address water retention.
